Thank you so much to all who were able to donate to our recovery fund to help us get back to serving the community. As we wait to replace our flooring that was damaged in the June flooding, we have some exciting news about upcoming events and opportunities to engage with us.
Bed Blitz 2021
We're excited to announce that our annual Bed Blitz event will be held on October 9 at YouthBuild. Applications for beds are closed, but there's still plenty of time to sign up to volunteer, donate an in-kind item, or make a monetary donation.
The WBRP Bed Blitz gives local youth a twin-size bed frame, a brand new mattress, sheets, pillows, a blanket or quilt, laundry detergent, books, a hygiene kit, and a teddy bear. This entire kit is given away for free thanks to the generosity of individual donors and corporate sponsors like Sherman’s. At our last bed blitz in 2019, over 120 beds were given away.
